Hot Air Balloons…FINALLY

ByTravelling Minion November 8, 2018 3 Comments
Hot Air Balloon Redemption With our GAdventures tour through Turkey over, we still had one big regret: We didn't hot air balloon in Cappadocia. If you've been following the trip, you'll know that we had two opportunities to fly when we were in Goreme. Unfortunately, both were cancelled due to weather and we were hugely disappointed. Ballooning in this region was at the very top of our list for...

Gallipoli & Our last day with G Adventures

Crossing the Dardanelles to Gallipoli We had to get an early start since we had a ferry to catch across the Dardanelles to Gallipoli. While the sun had already risen by the time the ferry departed, the view of both sides of the water was still incredible. ANZAC Landings Upon arriving on the other side, we drove to our first stop on the Peninsula, the first ANZAC landing site. I first heard of the...

Ayvalik The name of the game today would be to chill and we would be doing that in Ayvalik. After a quick breakfast in our Selcuk hotel, we got back on our bus for the drive to Ayvalik.

Because of the way the streets are structured, it would have been...

Upon entering the gate we found ourselves in the most...

Driving to Pamukkale With Kas in our rear view mirror, our next stop would be Pamukkale. I was excited for this stop since next to the hot air balloons, this was something I wanted to see. I'd seen many pictures online about the series of white Infinity pools and I wanted to witness it with my own eyes. We had a drive along the coast before heading inland towards Pamukkale. After a few hours...

Kas

The first order of business for Gimpy and I on our free day was to sleep in. Since we arrived, we hadn't had a proper day to catch up on sleep so this was the day! We were lucky, because when we woke up, it was down pouring quite hard outside, so we dodged a bullet being indoors rather than outdoors during this. Dedikodu After taking our time getting up, we made our way to a coffee place called...
